MITAKIHARA, JAPAN - Madoka Kaname held a press conference on Monday morning with Sayaka Miki, Kyouko Sakura and Mami Tomoe at the auditorium of Mitakihara Junior High School to announce their entry in the 2chan Anime Saimoe Quarterfinals.

"First of all, I feel it is an honor for me to make it this far with Sayaka-chan, Mami-san and Kyouko-san in this tournament," Madoka said. "My goal in this tournament is not to win, but to give a strong performance. But if I should be the one that prevails, it will be a bonus and the culmination of the hard work I did to make the world better for everybody."

"It's great to be in the final eight," Sayaka said. "I never knew that I would get this far. But I have seen my support on both sides of the Pacific increase. I even have followers in Europe. We all do. Our appeal will make this our year."

"It's a nice feeling to know that there are people out there that do care about you and love you until the end of the world," Mami said, sipping tea while petting her dessert witch-turned familiar Charlotte, who was munching on a block of Emmental. "So this is a credit to all Puella Magi, to Kaname-san, Miki-san, Sakura-san and even Akemi-san, who couldn't be here today with us on the podium...as well as to the fans who support who we are and what we do."

"Unbelievable," Kyouko said, shaking her head as she reached out for another Pocky stick. "But I must warn everyone here in attendance that the job is far from done."

The girls were asked a number of questions from interested press members.

"I have to say that Mami-san is the favorite among us," Madoka said. "Not very often do you see someone who shoots to thrill and plays to kill and keeps us company all the way. I would say that she is the strongest among us."
"I admit that I have my own...charms," Mami replied, bouncing her endowments to the laughter of the press, "but Kaname-san might have what it takes to take the lead from [Azusa] Nakano-san [last year's winner]."
"I think I have a case, but I go into the next round as a bit of an underdog," Sayaka mused.
"What about me?" Kyouko asked. "I mean, I am the most battle-tested of all the girls here, so I believe I also have a case."
"I think among the others who are also alive, Ika-chan is a legit threat," Madoka said. "Whoever prevails between Shinonono-san and Kuroneko-san is also a tough one to face."
"Ygvar-san and Hartmann-san probably are the weakest opponents to make it through, but you should never, ever underestimate the fighting ability of those two," Mami warned. "They both put up statement victories over Misaka-san and Tachibana-san, so they can be a problem."
"We don't care who we face though," Kyouko said sheepishly. "We're here to win, and if we face each other, that's when the serious business gets REAL serious."
"I just want to give a shoutout to a good friend out there, Coldlight of AnimeSuki, who is a diehard fan of yours truly," Sayaka added. "Don't worry, sweetie, I'll be all right, no matter what happens from this point forward. I promise you."
Kyubey was also at the panel, wearing his smug expression as usual.
"I am confident that you are talking with a potential winner in this tournament that is decided by those who are putting their time to good use the way they see it," Kyubey said, wagging his tail. "There shouldn't be anything to worry about."

Houki looks like she really might take down Kuroneko. I guess she can't rest until Asatarotte is gone too.

Well, in case arrangement 25-27 happens, this most likely will be the worst outcome for non PMMM fans / haters, but this may is the best chance to eliminate entire Puella Magis on quarter final, at once.

They all look like they guarantee a finalist spot to a Puella Magi to me. Sometimes two. >_>

If those Houki votes are bonafide, look out.

Pretty good write-up. That's probably close to how they would actually handle a press conference like that.

I think it's great when people care enough about the event to write things like that, or consistently put up screenshots/fanart of their favorite girl, as Coldlight does.

Joining Madoka, Sayaka and Mami, Kyouko becomes the fourth and the last of the surviving Puella Magi to reach the Quarterfinals. The mWo is now on board.
The only other Signature Seven survivor of mine is on the line today.
My support goes to Kuroneko.

Spoiler for the shy girl requests for no flattery:

Spoiler for even her rival friend admits defeat:

Pick:
H Final: Kuroneko - Seize the day!

Ditto, for the loss of my only other surviving favorite. Not to mention I'm not too fond of Houki.

Oh, you're good at this.
Funny you even mention me in it, I'm flattered.
Of course, no matter what happens, I'll stand by her to the very end.

"Three steps to Heaven" or "Close to the edge" today? I just hope that there ain't a 'Whole lot of faking going on". No even going to speculate on the result of this one in either case.

A Long night for all too as it is "Finals Draw Day", for the third time in history (2008-CLANNAD, 2009-Saki and 2011-Puella Magi Madoka Magica); it is dominated by four contestants from the one series.

In 20 minutes, it will be either "Finally" one of my top 5 reaches the final 8 (that I actually witnessed), I get to stick around and witness more despair, or all my favorites will be eliminated and I won't have to worry about Saimoe for another year..... Maybe.

It turns out to be a not so close match in the end. However, Kuroneko isn't quite able to keep up the string of 60+% wins. I'm disappointed in Houki that she got killed this badly. I really thought she would do a lot better. She didn't do much better than Asuha did. This match ends the block finals. It'll be interesting to see how the characters are paired up from here.
